you had to have known that price would have went down eventually. While the PS3 was expensive Sony was saying it was because of production problems of key components (some crystals in particular I believe). So, as soon as production was smoothed out the price had to drop. GunSmith1_basic
No it has to do more with sony's mediocre sales.
User name has 360 in it.. no games in your profile.. Sounds fishy.
Anyway though, on topic. I paid $600 and I don't feel jaded at all. I have the 60 gig and feel it is the best of all the Sony Sku's. Any time your an early adopter your going to have to deal with the fact that the price is going to drop...

I think that sped it up, but everyone was assuming that the price cut would happen before the holiday season regardless of sales[QUOTE="Reyes360"]I feel jaded.Chutebox
You get much more with your 60gig(I'm assuming you have 60) compared to 40gig. Sure your not just trying to start some BS?
Because a 20gig hard drive is worth $200.
Who remembers the Cows who said that Playunsaturation 3*** was better value for money?
***because it failed to saturate the market! :lol:

It sounds fishy because it is. Read this guys posts (if his profile isn't set to private). He definitely doesn't own a PS3. This is pure fakeboy.
But at least you got to play Motorstorm and Lair while everyone else was waiting for Metal Gear Solid 4.Lilac_Benjie
Motorstorm is awesome, and it's comforting to know it's another game you will never get to play because you're too narrow-minded. Wrap your head around that. The only thing keeping you from enjoying these games is some ridiculous mental barricade that you put there! Hahaha. It's like having OCD or something.
Lair I haven't even bothered to play, I was too disappointed in the poor reviews across the board, but it's interesting that you didn't mention Resistance, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Tekken or the dozens of great multiplats out there, which is what I've been playing while I was "waiting for MGS4". It's obvious that you haven't played any of them, and probably never will.
Tsk tsk. Sad.

First off, that's a terrible, terrible joke. Waitstation/Delaystation is funny, POS3 is somewhat funny, but that one just bombed like Pearl Harbor.
The difference in price isn't 200, the 60 GB dropped, or did your selective fanboy hearing block that part out? Speaking of harddrives, it seems to be worth that much to MS, since the HD is the only difference between the Elite and the Premium, now that the Premium has an HDMI port. It's also nice to be able to switch my PS3 HDD out with any HDD I choose to buy, instead of being forced to pay $100+ for the 20 GB Microsoft one.
Meh, why do I bother. You're going to hear what you want to hear, which must be something akin to Charlie Brown's mom talking from the amount you seem to learn from it.
I think I've seen pics of this PS3 on here...
Well, spending $600 for a horrible launch line-up and no good exclusives for the year following the launch...well it's not a terribly bright thing to do is it? Did you not know how bad the PS3 software situation was? PS3 has to be one of the worst consoles to be an early adopter of. Crazy price point, horrible software line-up that continues a year after release, SKU after SKU...
Ouch.

I kinda realized that while I was posting it. I like obviously bad humor. Like, a man walked into a bar. Ouch.

Perhaps I have an agenda.

Yes, it sucks to have reliable hardware and free online play. It sucks to play Resistance with 40p without the slightest trace of lag, and it sucks even more to play on SCEA's ranked dedicated Warhawk servers that are provided to us free of charge. I wish I could pay $50 a year for P2P play that has been free since God knows when. I wish I could send my console to the shop and deal with the worst customer service in the history of mankind. It sucks to watch my favorite movies in amazing quality that makes DVDs look like dinosaurs.
SKU after SKU? Do you even know what a SKU is? If you work in a retailer that sells consoles, check out the new 360 Holiday editions and tell me how many total SKUs MS has had.
Some people... /le sigh.
Oh brother....really you feel "jaded", give me a break, I paid 485 for a used 60gig but I dont feel "jaded" cause guess what.....THE PRICE WAS BOUND TO DROP!

Same goes for 360 and DS?Lol, you think the DS isnt selling well? Get a clue.
TC how old are you ??
1st time buying electronics or home theater gear ??
I bought a iphone on day one for $600 plus tax the price dropped to $400 in a matter of weeks. Bought a psu last year for over $300 now it's under $200. Bought a hdtv for 2k last year now it's 1k,I am sure in a couple of months my gpu will be $200 or less when the next gen cards come out. I bought a yamaha reciever 2 years ago for over 1k new model with more features cost $600.
I knew the ps3 would drop in price there is no way sony would keep the price at $600 but I didn't think it would drop to $400 this fast. Am I mad no, my ps3 does much more than play games and has been worth it for me.
I feel jaded.Reyes360
I saw you in other topics bashing the PS3 like crazy......so you have one and you hate it like that???? Why did you got one than??

I'll check that out!!! But you know...if you have one, why do you bash it like that in other topics?? Just answer this to me!!
I paid 425 UK pounds at EU launch, at the exchange rate at the time, it would have been about $850, am i too bothered about the price cuts, no, why? because when you adopt a console early thats what happens, you ussually wait a long time for games.
I paid a crazy price when i bought my sega saturn years ago, ive been waiting for the 360 to come down in price and will be buying one soon, im expecting another price cut before christmas.
well since you're on this sight you knew the best games wouldn't be out for a year so you should have waited. what you really paid for the the right to say that you had a ps3 at that time and play the limited selection of bluray videoes that were out. oh and BC.OntainYou forgot games chief.

Proves nothing. I used to log on to my little brothers 360 (before he smartened up and sold it) to prove i had one all the while expressing how much i dislike the system.
OMFG!!! If you didn't know that you'd be eating some $$$ by purchasing a new console early, I feel sorry for you. But I, as do others I'm sure, think that you did know that. And now you want to whine about it.
This actually works in your favor, you know. First off, as others have mentioned, you have BC over the 40GB. Second, the lower the price, the bigger the install base, the better the games are due to dev interest.
